About this listen

From establishing Fringe Club in the early eighties, organising art festivals, live theatre and music, curating exhibitions, sharing his passion for food, art and literature over tea tastings, writing a book and everything in between, the ever-so busy Fringe Club Director, Benny Chia, has had a wealth of experience in interdisciplinary collaborations with local and international artists. In this episode, First Edition finally caught up with Benny on his recent writing ventures and other personal hobbies.

Since 1983, the Fringe Club has become one of the most historically significant and vibrant contemporary arts spaces in Hong Kong, where artists create and present their work, and those who enjoy the arts come to meet and see shows. The 1890s British colonial building, which used to be The Old Dairy Farm Depot, was revitalised to provide an open platform for emerging and professional artists to showcase their work without having to go through a selection process.

As we slowly begin to reach the end of 2021, we hope you are staying motivated in whatever you do while hearing out what Benny has gathered over his four decades-long arts career in Hong Kong and Asia.
